I have always been fascinated by people who were the first to do something, not because of the competitive element but simply because of the 'special insight' which comes from their unique experience.

I have some idea of this predicament. After about a year of tests and a couple of MRI's, I was pretty sure I had either MS or early onset dementia. As it happens, the final diagnosis was FND (Functional Neurological Disorder) and significant white matter brain disease. So I get where you're coming from with a, "Wandering mind." I've now been retired on grounds of ill health. Staying positive and strong is a challenge, but it’s a challenge I accept. It's worth it, you know? Especially if your writing's anything to go by, this is really good.

Thanks, Phil. I was a bit too young to remember the day of the flight but your poem and description brought back my childhood fascination with space travel, which developed a few years later.

I always felt sorry for Laika.

I also posted a Gagarin poem this evening.

Thanks once again for stirring nice memories.

This follows on from Phil Ireland's memories of Yuri Gagarin's space flight of April 1961. I was seven at the time and don't really remember the event, although I have become interested in it since.

P.S. The opening also brought back a near miss of my own
experience years ago, when walking near Old Street here in central
London, stepping off the kerb and seeing a blur of red pass
perilously close to my eyes as a bus moved through through the
one-way system in operation there. A moment's lack of concentration that left me blinking at my lucky escape.

Hello,

I've enjoyed your blog entries immensely. You may have noticed that only the most recent one is still shown in its entirety in the blog section, the others having been archived for one month underneath it. After that they are permanently archived under your profile and the monthly listing. In order to garner more views it is best to space out ones output to give other readers more chance to see your work. I hope this is useful.
